Here you go. My new xDrive just arrived. The pics don’t reflect the awesomeness of this color. I am extremely picky and I was speechless. Sorry it’s dirty, just pulled it off transport. I LOVEEEE how it looks with Black rims. I can wait to drive this puppy home!!!

Not sure why BMW is not putting a xDrive emblem in the back, oh well I guess I will have to do it myself.

Salesman told me now they can’t even order it with harman kardon sound, and other extras as well, because of shortage of components. It’s good I didn’t wait!!!

Will send more pics when it’s all clean. This is not silver at all!! It’s grey, cold grey

Looks good! Your SA was totally wrong though; you can order it with everything still. There may be a delay but there’s no component you can’t order on the 2022s except for wireless charging / hotspot.

Yeah it’s crazy, shortages are getting worst. He said this was new, so maybe shortages are not reflected yet.

Anyway, color looks great. Cheers mate!!

That Tartufo looks incredible!

H/K is standard on the M3/M4, not sure how you could remove it. Perhaps he was referring to other models where it's an option

Yeah, not sure. He just said “you were lucky because I can’t get HK, or digital key or … other things because of shortages” now because of shortages. I assumed he was talking about my M3 because that is what I buying, but who knows.

I've been on the search for the last 2 months, in hopes of finding an M3 Comp that will be landing this or next month. The builds that they've been sending, most have been NOT included HK systems.

Having ordered without seeing the color live, these pics are putting me at ease especially if it looks better in person than through a camera lens. I didn't want silver and this looks darker than that but still metallic in direct sunlight.

This is an amazing spec, congrats!

Very similar to Space Gray, maybe a touch lighter with more blue than purple in the metallic. I think it's going to look aces on my G80 when it arrives. Anyway, I took some pics in direct sunlight for you guys. Hopefully it helps!

Thanks, looks more like silver though to me. I guess BMW just didn't wanted to call it silver, I think.

Not sure if this has been posted, but was searching for a comparison when I was trying to choose the color for my M3. Saw a skyscraper M3 by a Brooklyn 440. Thought I'd just post up here for color comparison as it may help someone.

I'm no photographer so my phone may not have picked up the color 100% lol... it's definitely not a pure silver like Glacier Silver or Porsche's GT Silver. In low light, it's a nice medium gray but a vibrant silver/gray in direct light.

Another good comparison might be with BMW's Silver Gray metallic paint used on the e46 M3.

Really helpful brother. I’m switching from Brooklyn gray to skyscraper gray. Trading my RWD Brooklyn gray in at the end of the week. Should have the AWD Sky scraper gray at the end of October. Thanks for the picture.

Anytime. It's frustrating to try and make big decisions like this without knowing the actual colors. They look different on the builder and honestly most of them look different in photos as well. I'm lucky to be in Germany where the dealer has most of the colors week to week. Think I've seen them all in person. You're making a good choice, IMO, with the skyscraper.

As soon as mine will be here I'll get as much photos as possibile to help you guys to understand the real shade of the color if you are in doubt. As far as I can see here, SG is gorgeous. It seems an iron grey metallic. cool.

I really like the Brooklyn gray also but I just wanted some thing that’s less common over here. Plus this time I’m getting the red interior.

I do love the orange but not for me.

tartufo looks amazing...color looks great. Extended leather would have topped it off!

Thanks, either way I am going with skyscraper. Looks cool and under the radar. I will pop up the interior with Fiona red.

Blue seems to look too flashy on the M3, unless you go for the CS version and then I'm up for it.

I personally think the extended Tartufo is a little much. The whole lower dash (passenger glove compartment) is brown.

I'm only mentioning this because it took me a while to figure out what the difference was between extended and non extended.

You guys are confused. Extended is the standard leather. Full leather is when the lower dash is covered as well.
